They were originally babbit bearings but could be refitted with
insert-bearing rods from a 50.

are the rod inserts from a 50 a direct replacement or is machining required ?????

The service manual is SM-2004.

I?m not a 2 cylinder Deere guy but from my common engine knowledge and how I read the reply by Steve the complete 50 rods would need to be installed which are originally designed to fit insert type rod bearings.

My parts manual shows replaceable bearing shells in different sizes for a "B" with serial number B96000 and up! Should be available.
